If red is down after Ionic round Hopper would swap his places with Wolfie and attack green, otherwise attack Red, and swap with Wolfie
Hopper slices with his weapon at the foe and then turn around and swaps places with Wolfie.
Pip inspires and then attempts to assist Barydeth with disarming green, at the last second, her whip snaps into places, taking the gem out of greens hand.
Since Pip managed to disarm green with a hero point crit, Barydeth may restate his actions. Using the rolls he already had, so a 14 and a 7

Being a little ways away from the action, Salliss tries to remember if he has ever heard of a creature like these. He has already observed several things about them.
I don’t believe you ever said what knowledge it is. If you did, I missed it. Unfortunately, I doubt my Lore Demon will work.
Something finally clicks within Salliss, this uncommon creature raised the DC to identify by 2 are called Stygira, Evil Earth fey. He is able to remember, like a majority of fey creatures, they have a weakness to cold iron. Their stone-like body gives them Physical resistance to everything but adamantine. For future reference, had to look this up, but you add weakness then resistance, in that order. Finally, he confirms in fact that they do need a gemstone to see, without it they are blinded. Fun fact, with it, they have dark-vision and true seeing
Salliss may attempt again, but at a higher DC, to get more information
He then places his rapier back in its loop.

Ionic raises his trident and gives a smile at the fact he picked this weapon to get the cold iron treatment. This one could be thrown readily.
He focuses on the last enemy for a moment, trying to find a good place to pierce the creature. "YA goin' down. Now 'ust give up."
He raises his trident and takes a moment to aim as he steps to the rights a bit to line up a shot and then throws.

Lightly walking along the beam and then up to the door, Salliss admits “I’ve been better.”
Am I correct that unless we use an Aspiration Point the slowed 1 condition will stay? I know that Drained goes away with a nights rest.
A creature that spends 8 hours in direct sunlight can attempt a new saving throw to remove the effects of stone curse, even if it has been petrified.
Since it is a curse, the society will not remove it for free. But then again, looking at the above quote, it can be removed on its own. You just need to bathe in the sun for an entire day...so you get a day off. Make sure to wear sunscreen.
But, it will remain in effect for the rest of this scenario unless you do spend the aspiration point. That could be a bummer.

Ionic looks at his rather shredded skin and large bruises. "Could use some 'elp."
He sits down and pulls out some herbs and supplies as he starts to try binding his own wounds some.

Hopper looks at the fallen creature "Eat that bozo!" he yells
Then turn towards Wolfie and his wounds.
Good job folks! We only have Salliss to heal from slowed effect and we have points to do that, so let us do that.
Do we have a healer in the team? I think we have enough of potions and stuff, but Hopper is missing -20 HP and Wolfie is missing -36

I forgot Ionic has one of those too! How long did climbing take? And if we do stop and rest Ionic would heal another 10 putting him 58 from full.

Pip's healing, unless it's battle medicine, would add another 10 mins leaving Ionic down 7 hit points. That should be okay.
Ionic waves away the potion. "Got me own if need. But feelin' near perfect... We ready to move?"

“Almost. I expect the storm to have started again.”
Once people are ready to open the doors, he reads the scroll to give himself some fire resistance and gets out the scroll of stoneskin.
Ready when others are. Did we spend the aspiration to remove the slowed 1 from Salliss?

While the other he pours into a bowl and lets Wolfie go through it.
With the party healed and ready to continue, they lead to through the door at the top.
A walkway of stone leads up inside the stone robes of the Colossus up to the back of its immense neck. The curving path rises up twenty feet from the stone door, leading from the chest cavity up to the door into the back of the statue’s neck.
The storm continues to batter the colossus, the PC's are safe from it for now.
The ramp offers a vantage point from which the PCs can see the havoc wrought by the demoniac’s ritual, as the rain of fire demolishes ruins and sets groves of red bruorsivi pines ablaze.
While heading up the ramp, Barydeth spots something out of the ordinary. A set of caltrops that magically blend into the masonry, almost impossible to see.
Secret:
pip invesigate:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34
Pip, taking the advantage to investigate these does so, she has heard these being whispered about in the lodge. They are Drendlesticks, enchanted caltrops. Not only do they hinder your movement, but they also cause the wound to bleed. Additionally, they come with a command spell for those who step on them to instantly drop what they are holding. By her guess, there is a 50/50 chance that whatever you are holding will drop off the back of the colossus.
You can easily avoid this one, or you can attempt to disable it with a thievery check.
Further down the walkway, Salliss and Barydeth spot some weak and crumbling masonry. They believe that one more blast from the storm would cause the whole side of the colossus to give way.
Again, knowing where it is, you could either disable it with an Expert Crafting check (2 Success needed) or avoid it
Or you could just proceed into the head when ready

Hopper looks at the masonry "It will take me just a moment, Wolfie sit here, if Salliss will not disable those caltrops let other, walk into it. "
"That is not that different than Goblin architecture. I once was looking a similar construction, a group of goblin builders wanted to create a statue of old woman sitting with her back bent. Everything was going well, given the circumstances, but then one 'architect' added a long snot from her nose which messed up the balance. "

Hopper nods his head "I hope we will not have to run away through this corridor..." says as he leads Wolfie around the trap
A short set of stairs ascends five feet to a viewing platform within the head of the Colossus. Reinforced glass forms the eye of the Colossus, and it offers a stunning view of the landscape beyond: one currently wreathed in a supernatural firestorm. Magical runes move around the edge of the glass, while reliefs of cyclopes decorate the central support column. Stone doors exit out the ears of the statue.
The head of the Khadaim Colossus features a short staircase on either side of the statue’s central support column, which lead up to a viewing platform. From the platform, occupants can see through the statue’s massive eye—a lens of magically reinforced glass that offers a spectacular view of the landscape. The perimeter of this lens glows with mystical runes, energized by the magic generated on the statue’s bowl. Bas-reliefs decorate the central column and the stone walls, depicting various ceremonies the cyclopes of ancient Koloran performed here. A set of stone doors lead out the northern and western walls through the Colossus’s ears and onto the immense shoulders and adjoining walkway.
Thought you would appreciate the extra flavor outside of the box text
The PC's figure that they could use the reinfoced lense to siphon and empower some of Dolok's energy. By spending 1 aspiration point, the PC can use this one time to restore 1 focus point to each PC, reduce each PC's drained or slowed condition by 1(their choice), and cast a 4th level 3 action heal.
While you look around the room you find a thin, multifaceted sliver of the statue’s eye rests beneath the lens at the western end of the room.
I do not think you really need to do the one time empowered Aspiration point. So, we have another decision, which ear you want to try
